Behind the Dorms, Tuesday Afternoon

[puppy_fair]

Arthur not being about meant that Zack pretty much had free reign over the reserves today, and so the first thing that people might notice would be the table that he'd set out with cookies, donuts, muffins, and juice. He might never be able to get away with it again, he was going to take it where he could get it!

Of course, no Arthur also meant that Zack was kind of winging it, with today's actual content. Fear.

"So, since most of what we've been doing lately is kind of limited to discussion, today we're going to try something completely different!" Because that would totally work well. "Physical tests of patience, endurance, and teamwork! I want each of you to grab a partner, someone you don't know all that well, if possible. And then come here, get a piece of rope, stand side-by-side, and tie your two closest legs together."

Yes. This was Zack's idea of a test of endurance. Be happy he hadn't pulled out the potato sacks.

"And then I want you to run from here to the wall of the dorm building and back, as fast as you can go, without falling on your faces! It's harder than it looks!"

This was why Zack was not often left in charge.

[OCD on the way, cooperation from LJ pending up!]

The Gym, Early Tuesday Morning

[vanillajello]

Kate needed to get her mind off useless things, so Tuesday morning she finally grabbed some stuff and headed down to the gym, hoping it was early enough for no one else to be there.

Finding the gym empty, she headed to the dance studio. She wasn’t going to do anything too complicated; this was the first time she’d done this in months. Just basic barre work. Reintroducing herself to an old hobby, seeing how much her body remembered, and what it could still do. Definitely no pointe work yet.

The second Kate started putting on her soft sole shoes, she knew this was going to be good for her. She could feel herself slipping into a routine, something she’d been familiar with for years.

It made her feel safe, in a way. Not everything was different here. Not everything had to be.

And when she eventually got to her actual exercises, the feeling only got stronger. This was something she knew, something to hold on to; something for her body to do and her mind to concentrate on. And it didn’t matter if she didn’t do everything perfectly. She was only doing this for herself.


[oooc: Open gym is open! She’s not going to be too upset if someone does show up.]

Fourth Floor Common Room | Tuesday Evening | October 27

[onlysmokesnics.livejournal.com]

It was a vaguely sedate Hayley that was crashed out on a couch. She was watching a movie on the TV about evil clowns from space.

She pouted at it.

"...no wonder people don't like clowns," she said.

She did have a plate of store-bought chocolate chip cookies out, in case anyone wandered in. It was only fair to offer food, right?

[ooc: Open, come play with me?]

The gym- Tuesday night

[solo_sword]

So, Jaina was probably about to be single, and she was not having the best time with it at the moment.

It'd be so much easier if she could be mad at John, and right this second, she was. She was mad that he wasn't trying, that he left that message, that he was stuck so far ahead that she couldn't keep up. And a second after she was mad at him, she wouldn't be anymore. When it came down to it, none of it was his fault, either. No one had done anything wrong. But what else was she going to do, be mad at time? Well, fine, she was Jaina and she'd find a way to manage that, but right now she mainly felt unfocused, like she was flailing around being angry and hurt with nothing to really direct it towards.

Which was why the punching bag was suffering. She had to do something physical, because emoing her heart out all over the dorms was not her style, and while she wasn't in danger of doing anything dumb like breaking the bag, she even she'd be sore in the morning. But that was tomorrow, and she wasn't caring that far yet.

At least her form was looking really good.
